Îïèñàíèå: Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery (Yaroslavl Museum-Reserve) It is not known exactly when the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery was founded, but it is believed to date from the early 13th century, having been established by Prince Konstantin of Yaroslavl, shortly before construction work was started on the Transfiguration of the Saviour Cathedral. It was built on the northern bank of the River Kotorosl and served a defensive function as well as a religious one. The princes of Yaroslavl also had a residence at the monastery and were buried in its grounds. After the Yaroslavl Principality's incorporation into the Moscow Principality, the monastery became a favourite place of worship of Tsar Ivan the Terrible, who presented the monastery with many precious gifts. The Transfiguration of the Saviour Cathedral was once the monastery's main cathedral. Construction of its original was started in 1216 by Prince Konstantin of Yaroslavl and completed in 1224 under the reign of Konstantin's son Prince Vsevolod. However this was destroyed by fire in the beginning of the 16th century and rebuilt between 1515 and 1516 by masters from Moscow, possibly the same responsible for building the cathedrals in the Moscow Kremlin. The current cathedral dates from this period making it the oldest surviving building in Yaroslavl. The interior of the cathedral was decorated with frescos between 1563 and 1564 and even though these frescos have slightly faded they have lost none of their charm. The cathedral now exists as a museum and tickets must be bought to see the frescos. It is open from May to September from 10:00 - 17:00 but closed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and on rainy days. Built onto the Transfiguration of the Saviour Cathedral is the Yaroslavl Miracle-Workers Church which is dedicated to Prince Fyodor of Yaroslavl and his sons David and Konstantin. All three have since been canonised and are considered local saints of Yaroslavl. The church was built between 1827 and 1831 in the classical style and its front is decorated with six columns.
